Music You Like More Than You Maybe Should

So that’s how it’s spelt.

Fair enough though, no room for pride in this thread. FTR, I’m not saying they are Talib Kweli and Mos Def or anything, just that they did offer a little more than just ‘Jump’ and their dyslexic dressing ablities.

As I said, I may just be overly sentimental, but I’ve noticed that once I like a song or album, I generally always will; despite how wack it maybe later.

Hey, we used to play it at all our fraternity parties in college. Who am I to judge?

The Humpty Dance, I’ve got the Power, and a bunch more of those songs brings back fond memories of clubbing in the early 90s.

I was (and I guess I still am) a closet Spice Girls fan. I also like a few Britney Spears songs.

I probably should listen to a lot less 1930s pop music. It’s totally irrelevant to contemporary existence, and as much as I love it, it doesn’t strike me as compatible with a well-rounded social life. Most of the people I know who really appreciate my kind of music are socially awkward in some way or another.

You should go to this. Gramophone Disco (gramophonedisco) on Myspace

Who in their right mind doesn’t like ABBA?

Beastie Boys.

I love Licensed To Ill, but nothing since then except for Intergalactic.

I might also mention that the band is on my bike ride and helps me keep my cadence…

By all rights, there should be no Eminem, 50 Cent, or Lady Sovereign on my iPod. But yet, there they are.

God forgive me, I loved the Pipettes! Even got them to autograph my CD! But now that RiotBecki and Rosay have left the band, I think the bloom is off the rose! (so to speak!)

I own entirely too many happy hardcore DJ mixes for my own good… it’s the musical equivalent of cotton candy - disgustingly sweet and completely lacking any sort of substance, but it’s so light and fluffy and pink that you can’t help but smile. I have absolutely no intention of getting rid of them, either, because gosh darnit, that stupid music makes me ridiculously happy.

Deep down, I guess there’s a small part of me that’s still a phat-pants-wearing, pacifier-sucking, bead-necklace-wearing, lightstick-waving candy raver.

I know.

I’ll hand in my hipster card and Beck CDs at the door. sigh

I don’t understand the premise of this thread. There are “others” who hate pretty much every kind of music that exists. Why would I care about their opinions?

It’s music that approaches being but isn’t quite a guilty favorite, or songs you listen to that don’t fit in with your overall tastes.

To compare it to food, it’s like sausage. Your favorite music would be an artisan kielbasa, and a guilty favorite would be honey mustard flavored vienna sausages, but these would be Hebrew National hot dogs. It’s a quality product, but it’s still a hot dog.

Whether or not you care about others’ opinions of your music/eating habits is up to you.

Hearing “The Safety Dance” makes me happy, but watching the video brings it home.

Huh. 4 million views and 5 stars. I guess I should stop feeling guilty about it.

My shameless pleasure: I love '90s industrial music – bands like KMFDM, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Ministry, Front 242, Skinny Puppy, etc.

Did Skinny Puppy go industrial in the 90’s? 'Cause they were pretty punk in the mid-80’s…
